Commissioner Ottilie Kashuupulwa is the new Police Regional Commander for the Ohangwena Region.

The 54-year-old Kashuupulwa replaces Commissioner Elizabeth Sibulile, who went into retirement.

Commissioner Kashuupulwa's appointment to her new role, the police say, stands as a testament to her exceptional leadership skills, dedication, and outstanding service within the law enforcement community, spanning 32 years.

The crime prevention operation launched recently at Katima Mulilo has registered success in combating crime.

The operation, which included a community policing forum, was designed to improve crime-fighting strategies in response to reports of high rates of housebreaking in Choto and other compounds.

Only two cases of housebreaking have been reported since the operation started on the 16th of January, compared to an average of two cases per day before the launch.
